Previous Year NEET PG Qualifying Cutoff Trends

| 2026 | 262 | 244 | 226 | 720 |
| 2025 | 276 | 255 | 235 | 800 |

Factors Affecting the Cutoff 2026
Several things decide where the closing ranks land this year:
- Small seat base: With one college, a handful of seats can shift a branch’s closing rank sharply.
- Number of candidates: The result PDF lists 2,73,096 candidates, and more qualified candidates raise competition.
- Exam difficulty: Paper difficulty changes the score distribution and the ranks.
- Category reservation: Cutoffs differ for OPEN, EWS, OBC, SC, ST and PwBD candidates.
- Qualifying percentile: The lower 2026 cutoff widens the pool of eligible candidates.
- Bond, stipend and fees: These influence which seats candidates prefer.
- Round participation: Upgrades and withdrawals move the final closing ranks.
How to Calculate NEET PG Cutoff 2026
The qualifying cutoff is based on percentile, not on a percentage of total marks.
Step 1: Know the exam pattern. NEET PG 2026 has 180 questions and 720 marks.
Step 2: Know the qualifying percentile:
| Category | Required Percentile |
| General / EWS | 50th |
| General PwBD | 45th |
| SC / ST / OBC | 40th |
Step 3: Understand how percentile works. Percentile shows the share of candidates who scored at or below you.
Percentile = (Total candidates − Your rank) ÷ Total candidates × 100
For example, if 2,00,000 candidates appear (a made-up number for explanation), the candidate at rank 1,00,000 sits at the 50th percentile, and that candidate’s marks become the General cutoff.
Step 4: Remember that rank is decided by raw marks. Percentile is only used to check whether you qualify.
Step 5: Compare previous year trends. The official cutoff changes each year based on competition and exam difficulty.
How to Use the Daman and Diu NEET PG Cutoff
The ranks are only useful if you turn them into a realistic choice list:
- Note your All India Rank and category. Rank matters more than marks.
- Shortlist 8 to 10 branches you would genuinely accept.
- Match your rank with the NAMO MERI closing ranks above and mark each option as safe, possible or a stretch.
- Run a quick estimate with the NEET PG college predictor and branch predictor.
- Compare the full cost of a seat: fee, stipend and bond.
- Prepare two lists: one for MCC and one for UT quota counselling, since the rules differ.
- Fill and lock your choices carefully.
